Turing test: Developed by Alan Turig in 1950, it is designed for two main purposes: Differentiate between a real person and a computer and to determine and give the trait of “intelligent” to a machine. It was carried out by isolating and individual in a room with a computer using a live-chat interface where he or she would send messages to two different contestants: one was a human and one was a computer. The user may ask any type of question concerning ANYTHING and out of that he or she should guess which contestant was a human and which one a computer.
Turig believed that by mimicking human-like intelligent behaviors and fool the user constantly, a computer could be called “intelligent”.
